21 It will happen in that day, I will respond,” says Yahweh,
    “I will respond to the heavens,
    and they will respond to the earth;
22     and the earth will respond to the grain, and the new wine, and the oil;
    and they will respond to Jezreel.
23 I will sow her to me in the earth;
    and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy;
    and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’
    and they will say, ‘My God!’”

21 On that day I will answer, says the Lord,
    I will answer the heavens,
    and they shall answer the earth,
22 and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil,
    and they shall answer Jezreel,[a](A)
23     and I will sow him[b] for myself in the land.
And I will have pity on Lo-ruhamah,[c]
    and I will say to Lo-ammi,[d] “You are my people,”
    and he shall say, “You are my God.”(B)
